MATH CLASSICAL

In 1975 Ant Farm sent a 1959 Cadillac through a wall of flaming TV sets in «Media Burn», a deconstruction/demolition of the media spectacle par excellence.

this isn’t technically video…but it’s a fitness center? with looping fluxus films? i would LOVE to see this on one of those little stress balls. lots of little stress balls.

diego showed me this guy a little while ago. it’s super corny. actually it’s pretty bad. but i keep going back to watch it because i like it anyway. i don’t know, maybe for 70’s nuts? (taylor?)

periodically been skimming radical software, definitely for 70’s nuts.

i’ve seen residential erection and some other bogus hollywood/new world order/severely overanimated stuff, but above image combined with recently rediscovering that benjamin barber essay severely bums me out. short explanation: this is one of those someone-else-already-did-it-and-way-more-awesome-than-you instances. i know, that can be said for everything, but you know…whatever. still bummed out. especially maodonna, it has such a nice ring to it.

Don’t worry, ceiling cat.

The Answer is CLIFF EVANS.

He started a production company called Konstrictor Productions with his brother.

Which is actually more like a cult.

Hand to god, while my buddy and I were out riding bikes around my Mom’s neighborhood, we found this projector kicking it on the lawn of this seedy apartment complex. It’s a Bell & Howell 357B from the 70’s (I’m guessing..?). I don’t have any Super-8 film to test it out, but the bulb still lights up, and the motor still runs.. it’s only noticeable fault is that it’s missing it’s cover and reel (which apparently it was supposed to have). Here are some pictures I jacked from some dude on e-bay..

and here is an auction for the same projector, listing info about the volts and other important crap. It is EXACTLY the same as both of those, just minus the cover and reel, as previously mentioned. Oh, and the serial number on mine is 1344085.

Cutting to the chase: I am offering this baby up for sale, as I have no real use for it (aside from gigantic paper weight or “cool looking thing to set drinks and books on”). So email me (punxishippys@gmail.com) with your best offer, or comment and leave your email address, and I’ll send you info on payment and pick-up and everything.

Oh, and unless you are willing to send an extra $25, you will have to come pick it up (or have someone pick it up and send it to you).. because $25 is how much shipping this 23lb beast will cost, and at the moment I don’t have any extra money. I’m really sorry about that, I REALLY wish I could ship this but I’m really broke at the moment.. I mean, shit, if I had the money, I would send it to fucking Istanbul or Mongolia or Uganda for whoever wanted to buy it (however, if I had the money, I probably wouldn’t be selling it in the first place).

for all you new media nuts

i found this on art source, i’m gonna submit a speaker sculpture that i’m gonna finish when i get back to boston

Today marks the first day of a new weekly segment on the HOQ blog which I will be posting every tuesday. It will include an essay that I would some day like to write, followed by a Youtube video. Each week’s Youtube video will be a response to the video from the previous week.

One day, I will write:
Wikipedia and the General Will:
Truth in a Post-Encyclopedia State

Now, here is a video of a Scottish Fold, possibly the cutest kind of cat, ever.
